Busby Marou, Friday
Australian duo Busby Marou will play in support of the fourth studio album The Great Divide. It's been huge past year of summer performances and new songwriting material from Tom Busby (Queensland) and Jeremy Marou (Torres Strait).
"The Great Divide is not about division or adversaries. It's about recognising that we all have a different account of events in our own lives and celebrating how those differences combine to create a unique and colourful story. Without our great divide, there is no Busby Marou story."
Busby Marou's success over the past decade includes millions of global streams, top-20 airplay, three ARIA charting albums and two APRA awards for blues and roots work of the year.
